Re: SNORT daily report

[Jeremy Hoel <jthoel () gmail com>]

Snort itself doesn't generate a daily report Something else must be
doing that.  Is it part of the daily log job? The report that includes
drive space, etc?  Could it just be repeating the alerts that snort
generates?  Do you have Barnyard set to output snort alerts to syslog
so you can cross check that info?
